How lucky are we who grew up with the ABB, and now that we are on the homestretch of our time on earth, we have great artists like this to see us home?
i grew up with my dads radio playing all the great classic rock bands, and now im 20 with a legendary musician to see live myself so i dont have to feel bad about when i was born
1- You are wrong. 2-You are still wrong. As for response to original statement. Billy uses lots of pedals and effects to get tons of amazing, non-traditional acoustic sounds, and it is wonderful.
I love the big picture of dicky in the background in my opinion one of the greatest guitar players and I think he's a little bit underrated but he made the Allman Brothers who they are
@@lloydthomas9793 oh I know. But “electric guitar effects” for an acoustic only get you so far. It’s amazing to see how he can replicate the intonation and feel that a les Paul would allow.
I knew Rich since I was about 16. He would come eat with us. We were also together, with other family members playing, on his, American Music Tour. This was so sentimental to me. His photo, with Wil preforming his Rambling Man, great hit, is so beautifully done, and spiritually moving. No one could ever preform it better, than my precious Wil. I LOVE YOU WILLIAM LEA APOSTOL. God bless you and the Billy Strings band members and crew. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I often despair about how the music has gone, the good music. But then guys like this come along, and there are quite a few. Some are as good or better than those they cover. And, the originals are still out there too, on the memory of the internet, and in my archives. So the music is not dead, it's sleeping, and can be awakened, and even re-born.
It sucks that all the legends are passing away. Pretty soon all the classic rock bands will be gone. Seems like yesterday you could still see them all in concert.
Me and my fiance saw Billy strings in Philly I can't remember where but that young man puts on a great show and he can play the guitar like really play more than just acoustic that boy can jam RIP dickey and long live Billy
Its not just one guy. Get to know the band. Billy Strings - Lead Guitar & Vocals Royal Masat - Contrabass Billy Failing - Vocals, Banjo Alex Hargeaves - Fiddle Jarrod Walker - Mandolin, vocals
Anyone in NE Florida, gotta see someone, anyone at the St Augustine Amphitheatre, the AMP, at least once. Best place to see a band around. Billy Strings? Well, the best bands know all about the venue, they love playing there, it's fast becoming the East Coast's Red Rocks.
Totally agree, our fourth year in a row for Billy at the amp. I actually enjoy it more than RR in some ways. Best venue and staff anywhere on the east coast by far!

🥲
Well put sir.
I was thinking of something like that but Atari to smart phones. 🎉
i grew up with my dads radio playing all the great classic rock bands, and now im 20 with a legendary musician to see live myself so i dont have to feel bad about when i was born
That’s a big 10/4
Tears in these old eyes. Great tribute by another FINE musician and his fellow players. Damn, Billy so YOUNG!!!! Just as we all once were....
Rip Dicky Betts, you represented some of the last of the old guard. And great to have Billy to continue to carry the torch
Those were great guitar solos... very much in the vein of Dicky Betts' style, and a great tribute to him.
Hot damn Billy Strings🤙
Great tribute to Dickey Betts, would have loved to have seen that live!❤
Totally amazing thank you Billy for doing a excellent job playing a great song.
That young man can PLAY that guitar .
He may become one of the all time greats...he's still very young
Billy Strings paying tribute to Dicky Betts. The stars aligned and the Universe was in balance.
Billy Strings is saving us! Rejoice brothers and sisters. Let’s tip a glass together and be grateful for life.
Hope for the future for sure!
pun intended?
Billy is a generational talent
Allman brothers saved the Fox theater in Atlanta from being destroyed. God bless them boys.
Goddamn right, saints in that town. Lived there 14 years and they are beloved
Great job Billy I know dicky would appreciate that awesome job Great picking
He just amazes me wow hope to see him in concert one day ..How does he know so many songs crazy luv me some Billy Strings
wow, what a tribute.... absolutely astonishing!!!
Lord, this is absolutely beautiful.
Wow, one days notice and they lay that down. RIP Dickie, many enjoyable roadtrips to your music!
I was a 10 yo kid when I heard the Fillmore album….55 years later, still the best. Will miss dicky betts. People didn’t realize how great he was
Only those of us who were alive in his hay days will be so thankful for Billy Strings playing homage to Dickie Betts!
Just AWESOME tribute to Dickey!
What a beautiful tribute and an awesome performance!!! Thank you Billy!! RIP Dickey❤
This is the fourth time I'm watching this.....nice tribute to Dickie Betts
Love Billy's playing.....
R.I.P. Mr Betts
Non-guitarists will not appreciate how hard it was to play those licks on an acoustic guitar.
I was amazed at these sounds coming from an acoustic guitar!!!
1- You are wrong. 2-You are still wrong. As for response to original statement. Billy uses lots of pedals and effects to get tons of amazing, non-traditional acoustic sounds, and it is wonderful.
Real guitarists don't have to go around patronizing people that don't play.
Thanks for keeping it classic. RIP Dickey.
Fantastic tribute for DB, in FLA no less!
I love the big picture of dicky in the background in my opinion one of the greatest guitar players and I think he's a little bit underrated but he made the Allman Brothers who they are
Dickie saved the Allman Brothers
had no idea he wrote their biggest hits and my favorites like Blue Sky and Jessica. tremendous musician
@@heavysmoke54yeah that’s why they kicked him out. Because he saved them. 🙄👎
I agree , Dicky was kind of looked over.
The Dickie-Warren era of ABB was my favorite
This kid got Talent on Top of Talent 😊😊😊
Absolutely phenomenal. What a tribute.
I can’t believe he does that with an acoustic. 😊
Billy has lots of special effects pedals to work with.
@@lloydthomas9793 oh I know. But “electric guitar effects” for an acoustic only get you so far. It’s amazing to see how he can replicate the intonation and feel that a les Paul would allow.
@@ZacBLive It's just a distortion pedal.
@@brendanbullock9468 that’s incredibly ignorant and I think you’re trolling.
He may have dropped to 12s for this performance, but he usually uses 13s, which is crazy
Great music is Great music, forever and ever!
Some people are the channels
It is their very essence…

Never heard an acoustic sound SO much like an electric.
But that's Billy.
Wonderful rendition.
Effects pedals hah but it's def cool. I plug in my Taylor to some mild distortion here and there. The beauty of music 🤘
Beautiful and great tribute to another wood and steel master.
At 3:52 when he does the intro to “Jessica” and makes it flow so effortlessly is just incredible!
Nice Jessica quotation 3:52
Had to go back and listen. But yep! Good ear!
😂facts
It was incredibly beautiful! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it again.
A Great Tribute to Mr. Betts Here, Thank You, I lived on Highway 41 Before this song came out, Cousin Figel
Thank you kindly, young man, for that fine tribute! Billy and the Brothers forever!
rest in all kinds of peace you beutiful man!

Jesus, Two guitars in one! 😍🤘
Truly a wizard .... see you in August Billy
All my fav classic bands are gone mainly Pink Floyd & ABB. Glad I got to see them live 8X and Gregg Allman solo band twice.
Thank you Billy ❤
Great tribute ❤
Outstanding tribute!!!!!
Wow!! Blown away! I still have the original album. Wow.
Thanks for the professionalism you achieved in the making of this most excellent tribute.
Holy hell this is so cool. My new favorite cover of a Dickie song! Rock on Billy!
Thanks bro. Absolutely phenomenal.✌️🇺🇲
Dickey Betts would have appreciated this performance! 👍❤️
Thanks brother!!!
are we sure he isnt an actual Allman brother? like between his voice and guitar skills, he clearly would fit in the family and the band.
Who is bigger in almost any style of music than this guy
Nobody is doing it better I am pretty sure
Billy brings the talent and in superb taste.
I’m sure Dickey would have appreciated this, Billy and company. A beautiful tribute from one brilliant artist to another. RIP Dickey
RIP Dicky Betts, Gregg and Duane Allman
Berry Oakley, Alan Woody, Butch Trucks as well.
Mr father Leon played music with Dicky for a couple years and was on his Highway Call LP
It sucks that all the legends are passing away. Pretty soon all the classic rock bands will be gone. Seems like yesterday you could still see them all in concert.
I guess that's as good as it gets, now.
That's just fine with me. Thanks, Billy.
Wow--love those riffs in the Strings Band style! Such great musicians. Thanks to whoever posted this.
He is rather good....and so are all these Players in this Band! A Joy.
Never heard is songs for a long time ❤

Just like Dickey and the
Brothers, without equal.
Great job.
Awesome tribute ❤
